  • Madness I Tell Ya Madness

    So we have this woman saunter in saying she had a reservation. We look it up on the computer when lo and behold her name does not appear. No problem we have plenty of rooms available. She then insists that we already charged her card for the room. We check again, we did charge her card, for last month when she reserved a room for July 24th and never showed.

    We tell her that we still had to charge her for the room. What we charged on her card was a fine for not canceling her reservation or showing up. It's not an IOU to grab a room whenever you want to and assume it's already paid for. Since all the other hotels were booked up for the night she paid again but swore she was going to fight the charges with the credit card company. Yeah good luck with that.


    Then we have this lovely woman who threw a out and out because we would not give her more than ten towels for her room. There were four people there so ten towels would spread out to two per person with two extras. We tend to discourage people from taking the towels to the beach so we limit how many towels can be in a room.

    She then began lecturing me because there were only two coffee cups in a room. Didn't we know there were three coffee drinkers in the house, oh how horrible for me to have not used my super secret psychic powers to know that. Bad TruthHurts Bad!!!

    Then things suddenly got wierd in the middle of her lecture/demand for extras she starts singing that song Down On Main Street by Bob Seger. Her kids suddenly start singing along with her which further weirded me out. When her impromptu solo ended she went right back to demanding and lecturing, it took all my willpower not to laugh in her face. I found out from the manager that she threw a hissy fit because we would not give her an extension cord for her karaoke machine.

    Yes this woman actually packed a karaoke machine around on her vacation and wanted to use it in her hotel. And thank God she didn't bring her precious extension cord because that woman's singing voice was atrocious.

    Heh, nice little welcome to the real world for the first lady.

    As for the second one... WTF? She's going to the beach and doesn't think to bring her own towels (does she really expect to be able to lay out on a hotel towel?), yet she does bring the karaoke machine? It's called priorities, sister.

    And if there are three coffee drinkers on vacation, I'm sure at least one of them brought a travel mug for the trip.

        Didn't it occur to her that if there are THREE coffee drinkers, and only TWO coffee mugs, maybe to ask nicely, and you would give her one? Honestly, some people amaze me. They fixate on the stupidest things...like you said, you're not a mind reader, so how on earth would you have known that three people drank coffee????

            This is still my favorite take on that, however.

            Seriously though, the first time I booked a hotel room in my own name, I could understand the "cancel by yadda-yadda date of the chage will go on your card" spiel. And the lady wanted to do kareoke in a hotel room!? Even the best hotel I ever stayed in didn't have sound-proof walls. What a ninny.

                  Yay for VG Cats. A friend of mine knows Scott, the guy who does the webcomic. It makes me feel cool.

                  And back on topic...WTF? at the second woman. I'm a karaoke fiend, and I'd never a) break into an impromptu song in the middle of a rant, and b) bring my own karaoke machine to a hotel. What a weirdo.

                    Perhaps she should've sung, "Crazy Train"...

                        Thank God she didn't, I'm an Ozzy fan and hearing her butcher that song would've sent me screaming in the opposite direction.

                          We totally altered a Caution: Wet Floor sign at work when we saw that on the internet a few months ago, haha.

                            One of our wet floor cones has a guy with Mr Bean's head.

                            Much fun was had with Mr Bean's Holiday stickers, but management had us remove the montage of Mr Bean buggering a chicken with a large French loaf.
